Once a main railway for lumber in Hancock County, this 24-acre property along Bayou LaTerre, acquired in 2010, is home to a small variety of animals, edible landscaping including multiple varieties of fruit trees and seasonal vegetable gardens.
Completely wooded at the time of purchase, the farm is still a work in progress. Daily farm life involves upgrading fences, clearing the 5-acre pasture, building animal pens, installing rain catchment systems, composting, harvesting, canning, baking and our favorite....... feeding the feathered friends.
Pitch your tent in our wooded acreage nestled along side a flowing creek bed. Relax on the sand and watch the squirrels play or close your eyes to meditate with the sounds of nature. A true primitive camping experience awaits you.
Our goal is to provide an unplugged experience for you to unwind and get back to nature so you can release the stress of everyday and enjoy the nature and serenity of our little farm.

I have a beautiful acre parcel that’s surrounded by many walkable areas. Enjoy the serene beauty of the gulf area where the deer are plentiful and grass is tall. Make yourself at home and just enjoy the quietness of nature. The road can be a little bumpy getting in but find yourself away from the hustle and find true peace

Best spot around. It supports our desire to be in nature and still have access to fresh water and be in a safe environment. There are friendly dogs who love pats and they got along well with our pup. 11/11 Will return again! - Tom & Elizabeth

I love this camp site ! It’s nice and secluded and the homestead is a lot of fun for the kids and everyone.
The sites are large and the people who live onsite are kind and helpful. I go here several times a year and will always be back.
Thanks for such a lovely stay.

My camp site was very quiet. It was a great site to rest and recoup for a week so I can continue the rest of my journey. Alicia and CJ were very helpful and checked in on me. One purk is they now have a flush toilet which was advertised as compose toilet. 😁

We had a magnificent stay! We booked at the very last second because our previous reservation fell through suddenly - and it was a blessing in disguise!
This property is so big and full of adventures and projects to look at. Special shout-out to the fishing pond!! My friends and I barely know anything about fishing and we discovered a lifelong hobby!!!
The hosts were also incredibly kind & patient & generous with their time/care. From the moment we arrived it felt warm & comfortable.
Also the farm dogs are so so so so lovable. We actually miss them - Mo will play fetch for hours and bring you cool trinkets ❤️

Such a great time! Alicia was a great host. Her husband CJ was friendly from the start and answered our questions. Lovely campground area. Sites are far away enough to feel private but close enough if we needed anything. Bathroom is convenient. Quiet and peaceful, we didn’t mind the early rooster crow and it’s probably not heard unless you’re closer to the animals. We didn’t want to leave. Looking forward to next time! :)

They're small but nice bathroom facility worked well for somebody without a bathroom in their camper. It was clean and rarely used. A real bonus in this kind of Campground. Very reasonable!

Absolute perfection! Tremendous hospitality, gorgeous sites, quiet (besides the occasional rooster), it’s a secret paradise. My wife, my six-year-old, and myself camped for two nights, hiked up the beautiful stream, played with the dogs, gazed at the stars, and just took it easy. The people that live there are tremendous company, and we will certainly be back. Everything is clean and everyone was considerate and fun. Bathroom and kitchen worked great. Highest possible recommendation, but don’t tell anybody ha ha

This place is AMAZING! My boyfriend took me and our daughter (we had never been camping before) here. And oh my goodness! The views are beautiful, the hosts are very nice, sincere, and helpful people. There's an amazing swim hole in the river. Their very sweet dog, Moe, was our tour guide down the river and played fetch the entire time. It was so sweet and fun. I cant recommend this place enough, and I honestly cant wait to go back!

Took the kids for their first away from home camping trip. Left momma home so she could have a little break, haha.
Everyone had a blast. The kids loved the creek and walking down to the swimming hole. They really enjoyed exploring the land too. Wear swim shoes as the clay gets very slick when wet!
Loved the outdoor shower, with my only complaint is that I wish it was a little tidier and cleaner. It is an outdoor shower though, so I get it! I really enjoyed the camping areas. They were very large and felt secluded.
It was a great experience and would definitely take the kids back again!
